MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS
High Risk

The most dangerous Solidworks tools

Execute · High batch_run_macros This tool executes macros, which are arbitrary code sequences in SolidWorks. Execute · High macro_start_recording Macro recording in SolidWorks enables capture of arbitrary user actions and commands that can later be executed automatically. Execute · Medium macro_stop_recording This tool executes a command that stops a macro recording—a state-changing operation on the SolidWorks application. Execute · High run_macro This tool triggers execution of code (SolidWorks macro scripts) whose effects depend entirely on the macro file content and arguments.

86 of Solidworks's 103 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control Solidworks

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Solidworks, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:

Rate limit write operations
{
  "add_diameter_dimension": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "add_diameter_dimension_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations
{
  "analyze_draft": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "analyze_draft_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.

  1. Create a free account and register Solidworks — nothing to install.
  2. Add these rules — paste them, or build them visually. Tune the limits to your setup.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

FAQ

Questions about Solidworks

How do I prevent bulk modifications through Solidworks? +

The Solidworks server has 43 write tools including add_diameter_dimension, add_dimensions, add_drawing_view. Set a rate limit in your policy -- for example, 10 calls per hour prevents an agent from making more than 10 modifications per hour. PolicyLayer enforces this at the gateway, before calls reach Solidworks.

How many tools does the Solidworks MCP server expose? +

103 tools across 3 categories: Execute, Read, Write. 17 are read-only. 86 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I enforce a policy on Solidworks? +

Register the Solidworks MCP server in PolicyLayer, apply the suggested rules above (adjust the limits to your use case), and point your AI client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL instead of the server directly. Your agents keep the same tools; PolicyLayer evaluates every call against policy before it executes. Nothing to install, live in minutes.

Enforce policy on every Solidworks tool call.

Deterministic rules across all 103 Solidworks tools. Per-identity grants. Full audit log. Live in minutes. Nothing to install.
